One dead, one injured in Vaughan shooting

One man is dead and another has been rushed to the hospital with serious injuries after a double shooting in Vaughan Friday evening.

York Regional Police were called to Baggio’s Café on Woodstream Blvd. at 6:40 p.m. Two victims, each believed to have multiple gunshot wounds, were found.

Sgt. Clint Whitney says the second man’s injuries are potentially life-threatening. He could not disclose the names of the men, or their ages.

“We are not even sure if the two men are related,” he said. “We are going to look into all connections — anything is possible.”

This is the third fatal Vaughan shooting in six weeks.

On April 24, a man was killed in a brazen daylight shooting at a Woodbridge strip mall. York Regional Police said they found the victim in the strip mall’s parking lot outside a cafe on Regina Rd., near Martin Grove Rd. and Highway 7 — just a few blocks from Baggio’s.

Less than two weeks later on May 4, a 41-year-old man was shot and killed at the Riocan Colossus Centre near Weston Rd. in Vaughan.

Sgt. Whitney says it is too early to tell if any of the three shootings are related. Anyone with information surrounding the shooting is asked to contact York Regional Police.
